A subfamily of kingfishers within the family Halcyonidae, typically including the tree kingfishers and similar species.
Scientific Latin: 'Halcyon' (kingfisher genus) plus the subfamily suffix '-inae,' following strict binomial nomenclature rules in ornithology.
Taxonomists love their Latin suffixes—each little change ('-idae' for family, '-inae' for subfamily) tells you exactly how related organisms are to each other, like a family tree in Latin.
